Caught the train from Thatcham to Newbury on Saturday night.
There were a noticeable number of big and long lenses about, and then I heard someone mention Tornado.
Quick mobile perusal of the web indicated it would be working back to London with a special, and was due to pass Newbury about 5 minutes after we arrived.
We decided we'd hang about to watch, but unfortunately, it was running ahead of schedule, and passed us in-transit.
What glimpse I did catch was impressive, with the loco resplendent in what appeared to be apple green, pulling a full set of "blood and custard".
Disappointed we didn't get a better view.
